I talked to a fellow last night at a local gay bar who worked as a male gay prostitute on weekends when he was a teen and in his early twenties. He says he did it because it was fun. His parents were wealthy so he didn't need the money. He lived at home until going to college. He would sneak out of his parent's house and take a bus into Portland, OR. on the weekends to prostitute himself and party. When his parents found out what was going on, his dad kicked him out of the house. They later reconciled.

This fellow is fifty-five now. He is a very successful businessman with a longtime partner (25 years). He moved on from prostitution a many years ago.

Not everyone who takes a "walk on the wild side" ends up dead or ruined. That's just a myth that some self righteous folks like to perpetuate. Perhaps when someone feels forced into doing things that they wouldn't otherwise do, like prostitution, they have a harder time with it. Another issue is that it is generally a young person's game. For most fellows, if they are still trying to make a living off schmoes as they approach middle-age, they aren't doing much for their self-esteem. There is always someone younger, better looking and more willing to do crazy shit for dollars.

"there is always someone younger......"Amen to that, and I'm always glad to help 'em out.

Assuming that's what one wants. I'll take a muscledaddy over a punk anyday!

Ha, ha! Are you suggesting I could supplement my SSI and annuity retirement income with hustling? -How about a muscle grand-daddy? Well, at least with me, it would be all business and no drama, no drugs, and no rip-offs. There is something to be said for that, I guess.

Yes, you could! The question is, do you have the body for it? If you look like Don Youngblood or Geir Paulson then you can trade your beef for cash!

Why is that? Is it a morality karma? Like in the movies the hooker or gay person often dies, if you haven't noticed. Perhaps it is because some folks who escort feel so badly about it that they get into drugs to mask their ill feelings. Or maybe there is just a lot of escorts/hookers and we only hear about the ones who end badly, as you say. Maybe there are a raft of others who live great lives and we just don't hear about them.

You suggested this earlier and I didn’t go there, but you don’t really believe this do you? If this were a path to prosperity and fulfillment don’t you think it would be widely known and embraced by now? There is a reason why drug use is so common among escorts… and it’s not because they are happy. I think the opposite of what you say is the case: many more escorts wind up dead than we know about... but their deaths are discounted and the connection between their death and escorting is either unknown or undisclosed. It wasn't until relatively recently that escorts left a "paper trail" (online ads, photos, videos) that we can now follow on the internet and trace back to their escorting activities.

Honestly, I don't know any escorts personally or otherwise. It follows that I have no way then of knowing whether there are some who are happy with their choice to escort. Perhaps one has to be connected to this lifestyle to know whether it is possible for someone who whores themselves can be OK with this.

I did know a fellow a long time ago when we were both in our very early twenties who had very wealthy a sugar daddy lover. The couple of times I visited him at the mansion where they lived in Bel Air, CA, they seemed to get along fine. One time Niles showed up at my house in West Hollywood in a panic and asked if he could stay the night because he'd left Butler after a fight they'd had. He was worried that Butler would send someone to get him or perhaps even kill him. It made for a pretty sleepless night for the both of us. Niles was an accomplished musician who was part of a popular singing group at the time. It was not as if he didn't have his own money and needed to be kept by someone to survive. Maybe that makes a difference. Niles seemed to have a good life although he died fairly young (in his late thirties) from complications as a result of having AIDS.

Police Seek New Person of Interest in Chelsea KillingPolice have released surveillance photos of a man allegedly trying to use the victim's bank card.By Shimon Prokupecz, Jonathan Dienst and Pei-Sze Cheng

Police have released one man after questioning but are looking for another in connection with the death of a 57-year-old man found bound and gagged in his Chelsea apartment on Friday, NBC New York has learned.

Police late Monday released a set of surveillance photos of a man allegedly caught trying to using John Laubach's bank card after he died, police said. The photos are from an ATM camera.

Earlier Monday, police questioned a 24-year-old man but released him after interviewing him.

John Laubach was found unconscious in his fourth-floor apartment at 212 West 22nd St. in Chelsea just before 8 p.m. Friday, when a friend went to check on him, according to police.

His arms were found bound to the bedpost by an electrical cord, his mouth gagged with tape and his face covered with a towel, authorities said.

Emergency responders pronounced Laubach dead at the scene.

Police sources believe Laubach met his killer on the website rentboy.com, a place where gay men can connect with other men or escorts. This was not the first time he used the site, the sources said.

Neighbors were stunned to learn of his brutal death. They said Laubach had only been in the apartment for about a year and that he lived alone with his pet cockatoo, often seen perched on his shoulder.

"He was friendly with everyone in the building," said one man who lived on Laubach's floor.

Laubach was an active member of a Greenwich Village church and was studying to be a pastor, according to a friend.

"He was searching to put meaning to his life, and he was searching for something that would fulfill him," said Brant Amundson, who helped Laubach recover after he suffered a stroke five years ago.

"He would come in and tell me how much it built up his spirit to be able counsel people and to help people who were in worse shape than he was," he said.

which is why, when I used to hire professionals (!) on a regular basis, I wired up my 'nanny cam' to the video recorder.Always had that sucker on during the encounter; plus, called a buddy of mine and told him where he could the escort's name, cell number and any other contact info ( rentboy ad, etc ).never had any issues with them and saved a few of the recordings to jack off to later.

Playing a Dangerous Game : Drugs: Former Cal State Northridge player is a convicted cocaine dealer who used steroids. Now he is playing for Barcelona of the WLAF, hoping for another NFL opportunityMarch 18, 1992 by MIKE HISERMAN and THERESA MUNOZ | TIMES STAFF WRITERS

A muscle-bound, 6-foot-5, 300-pound professional football player addresses the people of Shasta County with a familiar, just-say-no message, reciting the details with emotion and conviction.

He tells of a close friend who died when he smashed his car into the back of a truck after an all-night cocaine binge, and of his own father dying at 46, his life cut short by liquor and cigarettes.

Barry Voorhees, a hometown hero from Redding, even reveals that he experimented with steroids.

"I took steroids, and it was a mistake," he said.

What Voorhees does not say is that he is a convicted cocaine dealer out on bail awaiting his appeal; that he twice was arrested for drug trafficking in the fall of 1989, about the same time he was earning all-conference honors as a senior offensive lineman for Cal State Northridge.

Law-enforcement reports portray Voorhees as a man who sold a variety of illegal drugs to accumulate a small empire, including real estate and several expensive vehicles.

The judge who sentenced Voorhees to four years in prison on Dec. 17, 1990, described him as a "giant dope dealer," one who ran a "six-figure" business and someone who admitted making armed deliveries of cocaine for an unidentified Colombian connection.

In a court declaration by Walter F. Jekot, a West Los Angeles physician who has been indicted on 27 counts of illegally distributing steroids, Voorhees is accused of exchanging promises of a homosexual relationship for steroids. Voorhees denies there was a sexual relationship.

Voorhees, 28, was an informant in a federal investigation of the doctor, whose patients also include former Raider star Lyle Alzado and Dallas Cowboy defensive lineman Danny Noonan.

All that aside, Voorhees is preparing to begin his second season as a starter for the Barcelona Dragons of the World League of American Football. Barcelona played its first exhibition game of the season last Thursday in Orlando, Fla., then left for Europe the next day.

But Voorhees may be back any day.

He has been subpoenaed to testify at Jekot's trial, which is set to begin April 7 in federal court in Los Angeles. And he could also be sent to prison if his appeal is rejected.

Since his conviction, Voorhees has navigated a tenuous path, just as he did during college when he balanced two budding careers: one as a football player, the other as a peddler of cocaine, speed, the hallucinogenic drug Ecstasy, marijuana, human-growth hormone and steroids.

In the meantime, he attempts to dismiss his past.

Reached at the Dragons' training camp in Orlando, Voorhees at first denied his criminal record, then changed his mind, saying: "All of that happened a long time ago. Each day of my life since then I've been trying to sweep it under the rug and let it go by."

"Arena league football player who was a lineman on the 1997 ArenaBowl champion Arizona Rattlers, was found dead at his home in Las Vegas of unknown causes at age 39."
